The Milwaukee Brewers have hired Matt Arnold as their assistant general manager.

Arnold was formerly the director of player personnel for the Tampa Bay Rays.

Milwaukee announced that long-time assistant general manager Gord Ash would not return.

"I am thrilled to bring Matt on board," new GM David Stearns said in the release. "Matt has touched nearly every aspect of baseball operations during his impressive career. He has the ability to impact our organization across the entire baseball operations spectrum and will be an integral part of our operation."
